Almost 400 injured in Lebanon clashes: Rescuers
AFP, Beirut Sunday, 19 January 2020
Almost 400 people were wounded Saturday during running battles between anti-government protesters and Lebanese security forces in the capital Beirut, rescuers said.
It was the heaviest toll since the protests erupted three months ago, with the Red Cross and Civil Defense saying 377 people at least were rushed to hospital or treated at the scene.
More demonstrations were expected later Sunday as part of the wave of popular protests that has demanded the wholesale ouster of the Lebanese political class, which the activists condemn as inept and corrupt.

The protesters are not dealt with as harshly as in Iraq and Iran, Lebanon is likely too close to the West but they still have their share.
